costs, it might be cost effective. I'm sure someone has this
working for them somewhere. What do you guru's say to this?
Some potential problems with the amp as already mentioned but you don't
get the real advantage for long coax runs with low loss coax which is less
loss on the received signals. If you can't hear them - you can't work them,
no matter how much power you're running.
